Personally I'm torn.
There's no evidence to suggest Mario isn't meddling in the offense/impacting the play-calling and formations. I trust people like
@Memnon when he says Dawson has implemented various styles at his college football stops spanning multiple schools, and is being handcuffed by the man in charge.
At the same time, videos like this highlight his inability to scheme guys open during our losing streak/poor play against teams like UVA. That video clearly showed poor spacing. His redzone offense has been lackluster here.
But if he does leave, I fear Mario will take another 2-3 months to hire an OC, and that means potentially missing out on key portal acquisitions (which we cannot afford, at all).
Portal
HAS TO BE a slam dunk class. I'm talking FSU, Ole Miss levels of success - if we want to win 9-10 games in 2024.
